...using sex to keep viewers engaged while he fashions facile moral dilemmas is all too apparent. Much of the film punts around vague questions: Is it morally acceptable to avenge a death by killing your oppressors? Collaborating with them? Sleeping with them? The screenplay doesn’t develop these ideas because Verhoeven understands that sex and violence sell better than ethics. His directorial résumé is a testament to this philosophy, as among his hits are “RoboCop,” “Basic Instinct,” “Starship Troopers...

But there are no peace negotiations on the immediate agenda. Indeed, the most intense - if indirect - bargaining under way right now involves Hamas and Israel, over the list of the Palestinian...
...minded travelers who often pay less than $100 for a plane ticket and aren't inclined to spend several hundred bucks more for a hotel room. At the same time, large plots of real estate in major cities have become increasingly scarce and expensive, making it less profitable to develop traditional hotels. This puts hoteliers in a bind. With costs rising, how will they accommodate the growing legions of budget travelers who want a cheap but reliable place to kip for the night...
